Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

I don’t know about you, but I look back rather nostalgically on the practical exams that I took as an 18 year old as part of my A-levels in physics and chemistry. At the time, I wasn’t looking forward ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

A new quantum physics experiment just lent evidence to a mind-boggling idea that was previously limited to the realm of theory, according to the MIT Technology Review — that under the right conditions ...

Time travel has long been a subject of fascination in science fiction, but recent scientific endeavors suggest that it might not be as far-fetched as once thought. Researchers in laboratories around ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...
